Why use PayPal

PayPal is used because it offers a familiar, globally recognized platform for receiving international payments with relatively simple setup. Freelancers and exporters appreciate its buyer protection features and the ability to accept payments from clients who prefer card-based transactions. However, PayPal's fees can be steep, often combining transaction fees with currency conversion markups, and withdrawal times to Indian bank accounts can take several business days.

For Indian exporters and freelancers who want faster, more cost-effective cross-border payments, Skydo is an RBI-authorised alternative designed specifically for Indian businesses. While PayPal overview shows its strengths in consumer transactions, Skydo typically offers better exchange rates, lower fees, and faster settlements directly to your Indian bank account, making it a more efficient choice for regular international receivables.
